- Aerial footage shows untreated sewage being pumped into Langstone Harbour in Hampshire from a nearby treatment plant. The sewage reportedly poured out for more than two days. 'I just couldn't believe what I was seeing,' said photographer Chris Pearsal, who shot the footage. 'It's happening right along our coastline, and it quite simply needs to stop.'

There were 403,171 spills of sewage into England’s rivers and seas in 2020, according to the Environment Agency, adding up to over 3.1m hours of spillages. Last week, MPs voted down an amendment to the environment bill that would have placed a legal duty on water companies not to pump waste into rivers.

The River Mersey is more polluted with micro plastics than any other river in the UK, The quality of the Mersey is not strain’d,
Mate, they deliver the will of the people. People hated EU laws , Env. protection laws were a part of it.
The last time the Government actually did anything about this was back in the summer of 1858. And that was only because the stench from the Thames was so bad it was a choice between fixing the sewage system or moving parliament.
We must do better to protect the environment.
We all need clean air to breathe and clean water to drink.
We are poisoning the environment that we need to survive.
People voted for brexit to get away from those ideals thats why you can now pump your effluent into the rivers and streams enjoy your freedom.
Just another toxic Tory policy...
Quite literally
Thats not sewage its sovereignty.
How dare they treat my planet like this
the will of the people. They hate EU regs.
@@jerryorange6983Blanket statements like that are almost always false.
Send the water company bosses to prison. That would sort out the polluting of our rivers and seas instantly.
That is disgusting. Take peoples sewage and water bill money. Taxes, and can't do their job to run the plant clean. Sooo lets just poision up the water..
@davidowl and what does fertiliser run off do to rivers?
William Burroughs was the Chief Commissioner of sewers, and got it right when he said: "A consumer society is about simplfying and degrading the consumer as well as the product."
My tory MP voted for this to continue, just now.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Orwell
@@glowwurm9365
LoL an Orwell quote even on sewage dumping.. it's as if the Orwell quotes have overflowed Brexit videos and spilled out into everything with you lot.
The generic Orwell quote is getting tiresome
yes, but the water companies are doing it, you should demand water companies to stop.
The will of the people.
'take back control' amirite? I'd like to take back control of this by delegating that control to someone who will actually restrict it
My sincere and deepest sympathy and condolences to all those that goes swimming and fishing in that sea area❗⁉️‼️😅😅🔥🔥👌👌🤣🤣
Apparently the Environmental Agencyvteckon humans should not go in Rivers and leave the fish to swim alone in the polluted waters
Shambolic
Ruin Britannia, Britannia ruins the waves…
Looks like Brexit to me
Smells like it too!😂
Well thankfully the EU banned Britain from exporting bivalve molluscs, it's a shame for thousands of people in Britain who work in that industry, but we don't want all that pollution in our food.
The food here in Germany is basic with loads of meals based around potatoes and meat, but the equality is very high.
Now their Molluscs have more flavor
Working is never shame - those guys ( the workers not the leaders) just work for their families.
My dad worked in the meat industry 10 years in Germany - believe me- nothing to be proud there too.
Thankfully the EU ruled in 2012 this was illegal and it was immediately stopped because that's how effective the EU is... Oh wait hang on.....
It’s not sewerage, it’s sovereignty !
😄👌
soon to be delivered to every water drinking british ... yum
Sovereignty and dysentery live together in perfect harmony.
I want to take back control and rejoin the EU, though I would understand why they might not want us back :(
This is what you get when you vote for the tories.
No this is what you get when you over populate the area and the country is too bankrupt to build bigger plants to handle it. And that sir is labours fault for starting the Iraq war and then allowing anyone in our country.
@@peterlovell That's some ridiculous mental gymnastics. The country isn't "too bankrupt" the money is just being transfered upwards into the hands of the super rich. End corporate bailouts and tax cuts for corporations, nationalise the water companies, problem solved, plenty of money to fix society.
@@peterlovell But the conservatives have been in power for 15 years with dodgy coalition, I don’t remember this happening under Labour and my water bill was half the price under Labour.
@davidowl Tories were in favour of the Iraq war, the bombing of Libya and Syria.
Tory MPs vote to allow water companies to dump raw sewage into Britain's rivers and seas
End of story
Everyone, everywhere is doing this. It's horrible. The great lakes for example have been poisoned.
This is being done where water treatment is privatised but not in countries sane enough to keep essentials in the hands of the government.
Brexit
@@PEdulis
Governments can be equally incompetent and when the government runs something it never really done completely by itself.
The government tends to hire private companies and specialist for such services.
The issue is there is no political will to prevent such acts from happening and no financial incentive or penalty to prevent said companies from doing such acts.
Surely this is illegal.
Crumbling infrastructures. Looking like my country Afghanistan
Lol 😂😂it’s bad but it’s not ‘that’ bad mate .
The marvels of Brexit Britain. Sunlit uplands!
They don't need to answer to the EU's environmental standards. Now pollution will be enjoyed.
Sunlight uplands and shitlit lowlands!!!
Meanwhile, down at sea level… 😅
The fish and chips gonna taste terrific
The Festival of Brexit for the fish.
The fish are happy but dirty
Every town around our coasts that has been affected by this should now be preparing legal cases against the water companies for damages.
that stinks
Every drop of that sh 111 t is sovereign though
Should they be allowed to give shareholders a dividend, either this or we should all be given a reduction on our bills for the service that we all pay for, you don't pay the council's for taking your waste away, only to find it deposited in a farmer's field down the road.
Absolutely disgusting, how dare they be allowed to do that.
0:21 is a bit of misinformation, the waste water wasn't redirected to _prevent it backing up_
It was redirected because that amount of rain water would dilute the microbes in the the water treatment plant and render it ineffective.
It seems that until people get really angry about issues such as these, nothing changes. Water, gas, food and electricity are essential resources which are now owned by super-rich companies and shareholders. A quick bit of research shows that Southern Water is owned by Greensands Holdings who have shareholders such as Hermes and JP Morgan. I doubt very much whether pollution on British beaches is high on their agenda.
That was how it was all along the coast of Britian before the EU legislated against [advised the UK governments to stop] dumping untreated waste into the sea...
Thanks to the EU this sort of thing was stopped.
@@public.public No EU means UK can finally lower environmental standards and can use rivers and the sea as their toilet.
Langstone harbour of all places, that is a very important area for birdlife. but it doesnt really matter.This is disgusting and shamefull.
You don't so much swim off Hampshire as go through the motions.
Sickening, literally.
How many politicians have investments in water companies?
The Tories have gone from being the party of fiscal responsibility, to the party of faecal irresponsibility.
If you eat fish and seafood, this is what you eat
No worse than Boris has been spewing to the UK. 🤔🤔🤔
Find out the responsible ppl and let's dump some of that in their backyard!
Imagine the water rates being played to the water companies each year for years!!!🤔
Shocking isn't the word! I don't know what to say here politely! The MDs should all have massive fines eating out their own pockets!
Absolutely shocking
Under new rules, there will be a duty on water companies to reduce the impact of sewage discharges from storm overflows. This means the organisations will be required by law to show a reduction in sewage overspills over the next five years.
They'll take a stern talking-to when they fail that 'duty' I presume?
Do you mean the new rules that were just voted down by the Toxies?
@@PEdulis The House of Lords vote passed 213 "content" votes to 60 "not content", giving the contents a majority of 153.
@@Budanevey Anything from the Lords almost always needs to get through the Commons. Have the Lords had another go since this?:
Last Wednesday (20th Oct 2021), 265 MPs voted with the government to reject an attempt by the House of Lords to toughen up the approach to the discharge of sewage, while 22 Conservative MPs rebelled and voted against the government.
@@B.Evil.C Correct, the bill now goes back to the House of Commons, where the Government will table its own amendment.
Nothing as yet as been "voted down" as some insist.
Don't pay Southern water, if people chip in a pound each we can hire a tanker and dump raw sewage in the directors, ceo & major shareholders gardens.
disgusting, UK should be ashamed
Stop paying water bill
Hey its my planet now 🤣
I call it Graham land
That is horrible
Jacob Rees mogg said we have happy fish !
Lovely day for a muddy swim, this is why no one eats fish from british waters
In a overpopulated country what do you suggest we do with it?
And we trying to set up on other planets can’t even do it right on this one
I am not sticking up for the water companies as all sewage today should be treated, but why don't they lengthen the discharge pipes further out into the sea, instead of being within spitting distance of the shore, am not saying it would not stop it from coming into the shoreline but it should help surely, but I guess they must make a profit for the shareholder but that should come after the repairs to leaking water pipes, do not want to hear the well we have spent this amount on replacing the pipes, we want all the leaking pipes fixed and replaced and the raw sewage treated, then and only then
We need to start burrying all the trash, and toxic waste instead of poisoning our own water and air thats essential for everyones survival SMH 🙄
Are you Independent News Channel
Anyone fancy skinny dipping ? Be careful of gulping water and watch out for lumps 😉
No way I'm going into the water after that!
Actually, it's a broken phone cable, used exclusively by BBC News.
Get your high quality British fish here.
People waste so much water though...
drink up
The solution is easy
Stop pooping

Let the mps share holders and ceos drink that stuff daily
This is absolutely nothing. Is no one educated, have you not seen Africa. Have you not seen how polluted dirty the rivers are in Africa which go straight to the sea. The focus should be on Third World countries who don’t have cleanliness as morals, The focus should be on improving all those countries as uk and European countries are doing fantastic when it comes to climate change, less pollution, air quality ect

The company directors and shareholders swim in cash, while you and your kids swim in s**t. 🤔

I had a curry last night...
Where are the public servants who we pay to regulate our Rivers
That being: The Environmental Agency
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE ARE THE ONES WHO LET THIS HAPPEN NOTHING LIKE THIS WHAT A DISGRACE WE NEED LOOK AFTER OUR PLANET BEFORE ITS TO LATE
I see the results of this in Langstone harbour! We are paying for our paste being fly tipped!!!
Pump it into to Borris Johnsons Stable??
I’m sure someone made money out it
maybe they were inspired by the movie "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"..
Disgrace
The government need to sort this out. There is money so get it out your pocket. This is discusting
What money? Where?
I live nearby here and there are days you can just smell sewage in the air. maybe once a month or two you can smell it,
I also fished in the harbour but now I don't knowing what they pump out of that pipe
I work but don't live in Grimsby and that place regularly smells of sewage, I wonder where theirs is being pumped, no wonder the Humber is constantly brown.
Did you vote for that in the referendum?
The fine will be less then the money saved by doing this action. Absolute corruption.
tons of dead fish are being washed up on UK shores as a result...happening now.
So what’s the solution?
brondo
The solution is to invest more money into infrastructure for treating sewage. And since this was all sold off with privatization it's not the responsibility of tax payers. Private companies bought that responsibility, but these companies just prefer to keep the profit and not invest money in infrastructure, which is why privatization is always a bad idea.
Barbarians.
Politics
Full of shlite. Literally. I guess the idea of increasing local tourism is out the window. We’ll always have Mallorca! If they let us in.
Cod and chips,, yummy
Thank you Guardian for sharing this story after many requests. Shame on those that voted this in..
till 2050 mankind will completely destroy mother earth, we are praising AI chatbots today, but forgot what's precious for us today,, anyway humans are going to pay huge cost of our today's actions.
This is the brexit I voted for!
This reminds me of cities skyline game
wow nice job that sure helps alot
Lets go Brandon !
That stuff is soda pop compared to what's flowing out of Fukushima

THIS is what the phrase 'levels of containment' means. Same 'levels of containment' procedure operated by nuclear power plants.
